Abajo Construction, Inc.
is a small company specializing in high end
residential additions, renovations and new homes in the Buckhead, Brookhaven,
Northlake and Decatur areas of metropolitan Atlanta. Abajo Construction has been
in business continuously since April 1988. It does complete a few small
commercial tenant interior renovations for existing clients. Abajo’s projects
range in size from small repairs to $650,000+ whole house renovations, usually
including additions. Normally a large project and several under $50,000 are
underway, simultaneously.

George Hedrick is the sole stockholder and
personally oversees daily project management and supervision of each project.
His experience in construction began in 1974 with LSI Construction, Inc. as an
officer, stockholder and construction manager. In this position, he managed 3
project managers and commercial projects up to $2 million. Mr. Hedrick is the
State Licensed Agent for Abajo Construction, Inc., as a Residential/Light
Commercial Company, License No. LCO000508.

Abajo’s construction methods meet all applicable
2006 International Residential Codes & Georgia Energy Codes. The appropriate
building permits are obtained for each project.

With the exception of small repairs, all projects
have complete plans by a registered architect or engineer, employed by the
owner. Structural changes & structural framing design is done by an outside
engineer, employed by the owner, architect or Abajo. These plans are followed
exactly by Abajo Construction’s field personnel. Changes to the plans are
recorded by written change orders. Abajo utilizes AIA contract and change order
documents for all projects, large or small. The majority of Abajo’s contracts
are for a fixed cost. A very few are cost plus a fixed fee. Repairs are done as
cost plus a percentage fee.

Abajo utilizes a core group of subcontractors.
The same cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, masonry, painting, HVAC and drywall
subcontractors have been used for the last 5 years. All major subcontractors are
fully insured. These contractors are reliable and adhere to Abajo’s quality and
customer service standards. All framing and finish carpentry, interior and
exterior, is completed by Abajo own highly skilled carpenters. Typically, the
owner will supply lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures and stone/ceramic tile
materials. This allows the homeowner to save the considerable expense of
contractor and subcontractor fees. Abajo is available to assist and review the
owner’s selections to avoid delays in the project and will assist in the
delivery to the jobsite. Occasionally, the owner will contract with a
cabinetmaker, independent of Abajo’s general contract. However, Abajo does
utilize an excellent & affordable cabinetmaker.
